Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana Located in Punta Cana, this family-friendly vacation at an all-inclusive resort offers something for everyone in your party. Parents can enjoy relaxing by one of the resort’s swim-up bars in an infinity pool or head out for some deep-sea fishing. Kids, meanwhile, can head over to the kids’ club for a number of activities. Plus, all of the drinks and food across the 14 restaurants and bars is included. Beaches Turks & Caicos This resort has become the Caribbean’s popular go-to when it comes to all-inclusive family vacations that provide great value since there’s so much to do for guests of all ages. There’s a 45,000-square-foot water park, 24 restaurants, unlimited PADI-certified scuba diving and water sports, a 12-mile beach, a spa, 10 pools—whew! The Alisal Guest Ranch If you live in the city and want to get back to nature, this luxury farm over nearly 11,000 acres in California’s Santa Ynez Valley is a perfect fit for a family. All that wide-open space means activities like horseback riding, scenic cycling, hiking, fishing, kayaking and, for the body-and-spirit-minded traveler in your group, yoga. Montage Palmetto Bluff The 20,000-acre community includes a nature preserve with walking trails, but the real stars of the show here are the over 300 species of birds. The resort’s resident naturalist takes families on walks to Bird Island, sharing a history of the area. Plus, kids will love the kayak tours that get up close to the dolphins that live there year-round. 1. Which attracts those interested in horseback-riding? A. Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana. B. Beaches Turks & Caicos. C. Montage Palmetto Bluff. D. The Alisal Guest Ranch. 2. What do the four attractions share? A. They promise good food services. B. They include various kids’ clubs. C. They provide parent-child activities. D. They have large historic buildings. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To organize some family parties. B. To highlight some tourist resorts. C. To introduce some nature reserves. D. To stimulate some domestic needs. B The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts. 4. What made Valencia different from his classmates? A. He was respectful to the teacher. B. He activated the class atmosphere. C. He was eager to learn despite his age. D. He often put forward different opinions. 5. According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes? A. He treasured the chance of learning. B. He wished to show his determination. C. He needed the credits to further his study. D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts. 6. Which of the following best describes Valencia? A. Modest and independent. B. Energetic and generous. C. Enthusiastic and motivated. D. Considerate and intelligent. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. It is never too old to learn. C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Where there is life, there is hope. C There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career. What do people hope to obtain from a career? Some people desire a high income. Some hope for fame. Others seek for adventure. Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work. Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values, interests, and skills. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some people — that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devoting to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others. Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values. For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values. 8. How can we make a wise career decision? A. We learn more about ourselves. B. We stick to our beliefs more firmly. C. We change our interest more often. D. We find more career opportunities. 9. What does the underlined word “aptitudes” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Experiences. B. Abilities. C. Feelings. D. Families. 10. According to the writer, what is a satisfying career? A. It meets inner values. B. It brings huge wealth. C. It develops interests and skills. D. It forms values. 11. What does the writer convey to us in the last paragraph? A. The contents of our values. B. The foundations of our values. C. The places to achieve our values. D. The ways to understand our values. D While there are several easy ways to help protect yourself against mosquito-borne diseases, there’s another solution that sounds appealing: What if we could just make all the mosquitoes disappear? Plenty of research has revealed food webs of bigger mammals, such as lions or leopards. And for good reason — they’re much easier to observe than tiny mosquitoes, which often breed in pools of water. Mosquitoes of all ages and sexes serve as a food source for all kinds of creatures, such as fish, turtles, migratory songbirds, and bats. Moreover, males in many mosquito species eat only nectar (花蜜), making some species major pollinators (传粉者) of plants such as some crops and flowers. Perhaps more than any other animal, bats are often regarded as being the mosquito’s greatest threat. Surely removing all the mosquitoes would affect bats more than most? Not so, says Winifred Frick, a bat biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Most bats actually eat whatever they can catch — mosquitoes, beetles, or otherwise. “There aren’t any bat species that specialize specifically on mosquitoes,” says Frick. In fact, some mosquito species are most active during the day, meaning bats would have very few opportunities to feed on them at all. The disappearance of mosquitoes would have massive consequences for global health, however. In all, mosquitoes account for more than 700,000 human deaths each year. Mosquitoes are the primary cause for malaria. But we might not need to wipe out mosquitoes to turn around the situation. In recent years, researchers have made promising breakthroughs in preventing disease spreading by infecting mosquitoes with parasitic (寄生的) bacteria, which can make mosquitoes less harmful to other creatures. And it’s important to remember that not all mosquito species are responsible for the destructive diseases. In fact, many want nothing to do with us. “There are some species that live in wetlands that will feed mainly on frogs and other amphibians,” says Michael Hutchinson, a professor in insect research. There are also mosquito species not known to be bloodsuckers. In fact, they actually hunt other mosquitoes during their early stage. 12. What’s the function of the question in the first paragraph? A. To raise doubts about the new appealing way. B. To arouse further thinking and introduce the topic. C. To encourage readers to give specific answers. D. To inform readers of mosquitoes’ disappearance. 13. What statement may Frick agree with? A. Bats take mosquitoes as the greatest threat when hunting. B. Bats need to seek new habitats when mosquitoes are gone. C. Bats may not be severely impacted without mosquitoes. D. Bats will face extinction owing to the lack of mosquitoes. 14. What does the underlined phrase “turn around” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Develop rapidly. B. Maintain properly. C. Reduce greatly. D. Improve gradually. 15 What can be done to prevent mosquitoes spreading diseases according to the passage? A. Infecting other creatures with parasitic bacteria. B. Hunting mosquitoes which feed mostly on frogs. C. Applying bacteria to mosquitoes to reduce harm. D. Killing all mosquitoes responsible for the diseases. 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills.

I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for.“This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (失望的叹息),which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced when they were busy preparing for the vacation. My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite. I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelt of trees. But that didn't matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning without checking my phone as usual, I fixed my mind on nature around myself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 ACCCB 6—10 BAABA 11—15 CBBCA 16—20 BAACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 威远中学2026届高二上期半期考试 英 语 注意事项:1. 本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择题)两部分; 2. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡相应的位置; 3. 全部答案在答题卡上完成, 答在本试卷上无效。 第一部分听力(共两节, 满分30分) 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分1.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Plus, kids will love the kayak tours that get up close to the dolphins that live there year-round.(这个占地2万英亩的社区包括一个带步行道的自然保护区，但这里真正的明星是300多种鸟类。度假村的常驻博物学家带着家人去鸟岛散步，分享该地区的历史。此外，孩子们会喜欢独木舟之旅，可以近距离接触全年生活在那里的海豚。)”可知，这四个景点的共同之处在于他们都提供亲子活动，家长和孩子有很多活动可以选择。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“When looking for some vacation ideas to spread out and get some time and space to yourself, check out these great resorts options.(当你想要寻找一些度假的想法，让自己有时间和空间的时候，看看这些很棒的度假胜地。)”可知，文章的目的是宣传一些旅游胜地。故选B。 B The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts. 4. What made Valencia different from his classmates? A. He was respectful to the teacher. B. He activated the class atmosphere. C. He was eager to learn despite his age. D. He often put forward different opinions. 5. According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes? A. He treasured the chance of learning. B. He wished to show his determination. C. He needed the credits to further his study. D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts. 6. Which of the following best describes Valencia? A. Modest and independent. B. Energetic and generous. C. Enthusiastic and motivated. D. Considerate and intelligent. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. It is never too old to learn. C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Where there is life, there is hope. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一个关于“活到老，学到老”的故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生，尽管年龄很大，但他对学习仍然充满热情。在课堂上，他会积极参加讨论，尊重其他同学的观点，很多学生对他的精神充满了敬佩。他并没有足够的钱去支付学费但他仍不放弃，通过工作赚钱，坚持继续完成学业，还要继续读研。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.

(很快，他又回来了，回到他的旧桌子旁，加入到我们关于如何在洛杉矶寻找和讲述故事的讨论中——一个63岁的男人，和班上任何一个年轻人一样充满活力和好奇心。)”、第七段“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. (瓦伦西亚的很多同学显然知道他付不起那学期的学费，但他仍然在做作业。)”和“Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. (后来，我无意中听到瓦伦西亚想留在学校直到获得硕士学位，但他花了12年时间才完成社区大学学业，所以他还有很长的路要走。)”可知，瓦伦西亚与他的同学的不同之处在于：尽管他年纪大了，但他渴望学习。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior.

(瓦伦西亚的许多同学显然知道他付不起那学期的学费，但他仍在做作业。25岁的大三学生杰西卡·埃斯皮诺萨说：“他来了，为了学习的乐趣和益处，他很乐意去上课。”)”可知，63岁交不起学费的瓦伦西亚，为了学习的乐趣仍继续上课，说明他很上进；他是一个热情、上进的人。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，本文讲述了一个关于“活到老，学到老”故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生，尽管年龄很大，但他对学习仍然充满热情。在课堂上，他会积极参加讨论，尊重其他同学的观点，很多学生对他的精神充满了敬佩。他没有足够的钱去支付学费但他仍不放弃，通过工作赚钱，坚持继续完成学业，还要继续读研。可得出这篇文章主要告诉我们“It is never too old to learn. (活到老，学到老。)”的道理。故选B。 C There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the type of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life. The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways. By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career. What do people hope to obtain from a career? Some people desire a high income. Some hope for fame. Others seek for adventure. Still others intend to serve people and make the world a better place. Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your interests, and your aptitudes that will make you competent for your future work. Most people are happiest in jobs that fit their values, interests, and skills. Each person has many values, which vary in strength. For example, money is the strongest value for some people — that is, wealth is more important to them than anything else. As a result, they focus their thoughts, behaviour, and emotions on the goal of earning a high income. Other values include devoting to religion, taking risks, spending time with family, and helping others. Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values. For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values. 8. How can we make a wise career decision? A. We learn more about ourselves. B. We stick to our beliefs more firmly. C. We change our interest more often. D. We find more career opportunities. 9. What does the underlined word “aptitudes” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Experiences. B. Abilities. C. Feelings. D. Families. 10. According to the writer, what is a satisfying career? A. It meets inner values. B. It brings huge wealth. C. It develops interests and skills. D. It forms values. 11. What does the writer convey to us in the last paragraph? A. The contents of our values. B. The foundations of our values. C. The places to achieve our values. D. The ways to understand our values. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了职业和人一样多，它们在涉及的工作类型和影响人的生活的方式上差异很大，您拥有的职业可以在很多方面影响您的生活。通过做出明智的职业决定，您可以帮助自己建立自己想要的生活。为此，您需要尽可能多的信息，您对自己了解的越多，选择满意的职业的能力就越大。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“By making wise decisions concerning your career, you can help yourself build the life you want. To do that, you need as much information as possible. The more you know about yourself, the better able you will be to choose a satisfying career. (通过对你的职业做出明智的决定，你可以帮助自己建立你想要的生活。要做到这一点，你需要尽可能多的信息。你对自己了解得越多，你就越能选择一份令人满意的职业。)”可推知，通过更多地了解自己，我们才能做出明智的职业决定。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“Before you begin to explore career fields, you should determine your values, your interests, and your… that will make you competent for your future work.( 在你开始探索职业领域之前，你应该确定自己价值观、兴趣和……，这些都能让你胜任未来的工作。)”可知，你的才能使你能够胜任未来的工作。，此处划线单词aptitudes为“才能，能力”的意思，结合选项B项Abilities“能力”意思一致。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Before making a career decision, you can ask yourself what is most important to you and examine your beliefs to better know your values.( 在做出职业决定之前，你可以问问自己什么对你来说是最重要的，并检查你的信仰，以更好地了解你的价值观。)”可知，根据作者的说法，一些令人满意的职业是满足内心的价值观。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example, is it important to you to work as a member of a team? Or would you rather be in charge or work alone? If working alone or being in charge is important to you, independence is probably one of your primary values.( 例如，作为团队的一员对你来说重要吗？或者你更愿意负责还是独自工作？如果独自工作或负责对你来说很重要，那么独立可能是你的主要价值观之一。)”可推知，作者在最后一段向我们传达了理解我们价值观的方法。故选D项。 D While there are several easy ways to help protect yourself against mosquito-borne diseases, there’s another solution that sounds appealing: What if we could just make all the mosquitoes disappear? Plenty of research has revealed food webs of bigger mammals, such as lions or leopards. And for good reason — they’re much easier to observe than tiny mosquitoes, which often breed in pools of water. Mosquitoes of all ages and sexes serve as a food source for all kinds of creatures, such as fish, turtles, migratory songbirds, and bats. Moreover, males in many mosquito species eat only nectar (花蜜), making some species major pollinators (传粉者) of plants such as some crops and flowers. Perhaps more than any other animal, bats are often regarded as being the mosquito’s greatest threat. Surely removing all the mosquitoes would affect bats more than most? Not so, says Winifred Frick, a bat biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Most bats actually eat whatever they can catch — mosquitoes, beetles, or otherwise. “There aren’t any bat species that specialize specifically on mosquitoes,” says Frick. In fact, some mosquito species are most active during the day, meaning bats would have very few opportunities to feed on them at all. The disappearance of mosquitoes would have massive consequences for global health, however. In all, mosquitoes account for more than 700,000 human deaths each year. Mosquitoes are the primary cause for malaria. But we might not need to wipe out mosquitoes to turn around the situation. In recent years, researchers have made promising breakthroughs in preventing disease spreading by infecting mosquitoes with parasitic (寄生的) bacteria, which can make mosquitoes less harmful to other creatures. And it’s important to remember that not all mosquito species are responsible for the destructive diseases. In fact, many want nothing to do with us. “There are some species that live in wetlands that will feed mainly on frogs and other amphibians,” says Michael Hutchinson, a professor in insect research. There are also mosquito species not known to be bloodsuckers. In fact, they actually hunt other mosquitoes during their early stage. 12. What’s the function of the question in the first paragraph? A. To raise doubts about the new appealing way. B. To arouse further thinking and introduce the topic. C. To encourage readers to give specific answers. D. To inform readers of mosquitoes’ disappearance. 13. What statement may Frick agree with? A. Bats take mosquitoes as the greatest threat when hunting. B. Bats need to seek new habitats when mosquitoes are gone. C. Bats may not be severely impacted without mosquitoes. D. Bats will face extinction owing to the lack of mosquitoes. 14. What does the underlined phrase “turn around” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Develop rapidly. B. Maintain properly. C. Reduce greatly. D. Improve gradually. 15. What can be done to prevent mosquitoes spreading diseases according to the passage? A. Infecting other creatures with parasitic bacteria. B. Hunting mosquitoes which feed mostly on frogs. C. Applying bacteria to mosquitoes to reduce harm. D. Killing all mosquitoes responsible for the diseases. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了蚊子在食物链中的作用且其对于传播疾病上的危害，文章讲述了如何阻止蚊子传播疾病的方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“While there are several easy ways to help protect yourself against mosquito-borne diseases, there’s another solution that sounds appealing: What if we could just make all the mosquitoes disappear?(虽然有几种简单的方法可以帮助你预防蚊子传播的疾病，但还有另一种听起来很有吸引力的解决方案：如果我们可以让所有的蚊子消失呢)”并结合第四段“The disappearance of mosquitoes would have massive consequences for global health, however.(然而，蚊子的消失将对全球健康产生巨大的影响)”可知，文章第一段引出“让蚊子消失”的观点，引起读者进一步的思考并引出本文话题。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Most bats actually eat whatever they can catch — mosquitoes, beetles, or otherwise. “There aren’t any bat species that specialize specifically on mosquitoes,” says Frick. In fact, some mosquito species are most active during the day, meaning bats would have very few opportunities to feed on them at all.(实际上，大多数蝙蝠吃它们能抓到的任何东西——蚊子、甲虫或其他。弗里克说:“没有任何一种蝙蝠专门捕食蚊子。”事实上，一些蚊子种类在白天最活跃，这意味着蝙蝠几乎没有机会以它们为食)”可知，弗里克认为，如果没有蚊子，蝙蝠可能不会受到严重影响。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“In all, mosquitoes account for more than 700,000 human deaths each year. Mosquitoes are the primary cause for malaria.(总之，蚊子每年造成70多万人死亡。蚊子是疟疾的主要病因)”及下文“In recent years, researchers have made promising breakthroughs in preventing disease spreading by infecting mosquitoes with parasitic (寄生的) bacteria, which can make mosquitoes less harmful to other creatures.(近年来，研究人员在用寄生细菌感染蚊子以防止疾病传播方面取得了有希望的突破，这种细菌可以使蚊子对其他生物的危害更小)”可知，虽然蚊子会传播疾病，但是我们不需要完全消灭蚊子来扭转这个局面，研究者有了新的突破，turn around意思为：扭转，表示使这种情形得到改善，与Improve gradually.意思相近。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“In recent years, researchers have made promising breakthroughs in preventing disease spreading by infecting mosquitoes with parasitic bacteria, which can make mosquitoes less harmful to other creatures.(近年来，研究人员在用寄生细菌感染蚊子以防止疾病传播方面取得了有希望的突破，这种细菌可以使蚊子对其他生物的危害更小)”可知，可以用细菌感染蚊子来防止疾病传播。故选C。 第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills.

I lived on that phone all summer. I always texted my friends, even at night. And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself. Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for.“This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special, something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid. We’re going camping in the forest!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (失望的叹息),which was my communication style at that age. But he had made the decision and would not change his mind. I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced when they were busy preparing for the vacation. My mind was on my phone, the texts flying back and forth. I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite. I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelt of trees. But that didn't matter to me. The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious and annoying. My phone no longer had service. The signal was weak. During the last hour of the drive, there was no signal at all. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答 My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, without checking my phone as usual, I fixed my mind on nature around myself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service. I realized my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to connect myself with the outside world. I went from an unhappy state to anger. However, that couldn’t make my phone receive the signal. I went to bed angrily that first night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. The next morning, without checking my phone as usual, I fixed my mind on nature around myself. My dad and I hiked through the forest, enjoying nature. We went fishing and swimming. I listened to stories of Dad's life. When the vacation came to an end, I realized I hadn't thought of my phone once. It dawned on me that I needed to value the moments with nature and the important persons in life. With this lesson carried to this day, I regularly pack up the tent and drive until my phone shows words: “No service.” 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在上高中之前收到了父母送的礼物——一部手机，从此便沉溺于网络世界。这一年的假期父亲决定去森林里野营，这让作者有点失望。最让作者难以接受的是，随着车子逐渐接近目的地，他爱不释手的手机没有了信号。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的父亲解释说他专门选了一个没有信号的野营地”可知，第一段可描写作者对于如此安排的反应，联系下文，还可以描写野营第一天的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，没有再像以往一样查看手机，身边的大自然洗涤了我的思想”可知，第二段可描写作者逐渐适应了没有手机的感觉，与大自然亲密接触，以及这次野营带给作者的变化。 2.续写线索：不适应——郁闷——第一天结束——逐渐适应——感受大自然——变化和感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/find out/it dawns on sb. that ②.联系/交流：connect with/communicate with ③.考虑/想到：think of/think about/alight on 情绪类 ①.生气：be angry with/be mad at ②.惬意：feel comfortable/do everything comfortably 【点睛】[高分句型1]. With this lesson carried to this day, I regularly pack up the tent and drive until my phone shows words: “No service.”（运用了with的复合结构） [高分句型2]. When the vacation came to an end, I realized I hadn't thought of my phone once.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 1—5 ACCCB 6—10 BAABA 11—15 CBBCA 16—20 BAACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
